Storms and rain look to become widespread throughout the day after some localised heavy rainfall in suburbs of Sydney. Most of the activity seem to be centred on central eastern Queensland which hopefully should extinguish some of those bushfires.
The isolated severe storm that affected Coffs Harbour and Sawtell this morning seem to have been mostly heavy rainfall.

It seems there is a hint of thunderstorms beginning to be in the picture from the 22nd October over eastern NSW and lingering for some time. Obviously this depends on moisture availability. GFS has been very unreliable with predictions of moisture particularly inland around the Central West this season as with other seasons. The coastal areas are struggling with moisture but nowhere near as serious. This means Sydney and further north to the mid-north coast are in for a chance of storms over the coming days.
Meanwhile, bushfires continue to threaten communities over northern NSW and Queensland. I am certainly surprised to see Rockhampton during October getting serious fire behaviour. Personally, I have yet to see bushfires mentioned in the news so far north into the tropics. At least though the dust storms have eased for the time being.

A sharp upper trough is expected to drop 500 hPa temps to -20 over the Northern Rivers this afternoon. It’s effects can already be seen with showers and storms just off the NSW coast.
There will be no capping so we may end up with clutter and showers through there are good chances of some hail about.
We really need the rain as the dry season has been ridiculously dry this year – well over 3 months of barely any rain.
